Village Education Program Volunteer in Africa

Summary

Art in Tanzania supports educational tasks in nurseries, primary schools, secondary schools, and adult vocational training centres. The schools we support are primarily poor village schools. Interns focus on developing primary education and also conduct advocacy work.

Details

Art in Tanzania has been operating since 1996. Our community placements attract about 250 participants annually. Our vision is to give students hands-on experience working in developing African communities. In addition to your studies, you will have an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience of African culture and life, as well as a fantastic natural environment and diverse wildlife.

Art in Tanzania's Educational program is part of our Children's Agenda approach, implemented by a coalition that includes UNICEF and Save the Children.

We work in village nurseries and primary and secondary schools, and we run adult vocational training programs for women.

The program also includes classes for children living with disabilities. Participants are specifically needed to cover subjects where the schools are weak.

Areas of development include English, arts and music, mathematics, and sports teaching.

Interns also advocate raising awareness about HIV/AIDS, health, and hygiene. Debate-based English training is a trendy subject.

We use our social media pages for advocacy work, and our Facebook pages have over 50,000 followers. We also highlight teacher-training activities.

Classroom tools are scarce, and a school can have over 40 pupils.

Work hours are 6 to 8 hours per day, Monday through Friday.

The program is ongoing, so the start dates are adjustable. Your placement is tailored to your background, experience, and interests, empowering our daily work with the communities.

Daily tasks include practical fieldwork, planning, reporting, and visibility work.

The start and end dates are flexible, as all programs are ongoing, with many having run since 1996.

You and your visiting friends can enjoy low-cost, sustainable safaris and tours.

We typically have 15-40 students from diverse parts of the world, representing over 400 universities with which we collaborate, as well as various professions.
